Li Yang was holding a small bowl, and after listening to Xiao Yan's words, he turned around and smiled.
"The value of an item cannot only be judged by time. There are many ordinary pots and jars unearthed in the Song Dynasty, and their value is not high. There are many works of art in modern times, such as paintings by some famous modern artists, which are worth more than some ancient paintings.
Be high!"
After listening to Li Yang's words, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "Brother Li, that is a work by a famous artist and has high artistic value. How can porcelain be compared with calligraphy and painting?"
Xiao Yan looked obviously very unconvinced.
Xiao Yan himself has a baby face and looks very young. His unconvinced look is a bit cute. Liu Li on the side couldn't help laughing.
The conflict between the two has been greatly alleviated at this time. Even if there is still a small quarrel, they will never talk about divorce.
Li Yang laughed and said: "Let me tell you, these porcelains are also made by famous masters, or they are made by everyone, and their artistic value is even higher!"
Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but no words came out in the end, but it was clear from his expression that he did not agree with Li Yang's words at all.
Looking at his appearance, Li Yang chuckled, turned around, walked to Zhao Kui, and lent him a small flashlight. Zhao Kui had the habit of carrying many tools with him, and the flashlight was one of them.
Li Yang took the flashlight, pointed at the small bowl, and asked Xiao Yan with a smile: "Let me ask you, are the patterns on this beautiful?"
Xiao Yan lowered his head and said directly: "It's beautiful, but it's very monotonous. There are too few plum blossoms. I think it's not as beautiful as blue and white!"
"You don't understand art. You think these flowers are so easy to draw. Their production process is more complicated and more difficult than blue and white!"
Li Yang said unceremoniously, a smile appeared on his face, and he said again: "I will show you today what true art and true beauty are!"
Li Yang walked to the table with a flashlight, put the flashlight inside a small bowl, turned the small bowl upside down, and then turned on the flashlight, letting the strong light inside shine on the wall of the bowl.
Liu Li and Wang Jiajia came over curiously.
The next moment, the three people's eyes widened.
After being illuminated by the strong light of a military flashlight, the wall of the bowl was as white and moist as milk. The faint plum blossoms on the wall of the bowl seemed to be blooming slowly under the strong light, which was really beautiful.
The illuminated wall of the bowl is like condensed white jade, glowing with crystal clear light, just like the Jade Pavilion in Sendai. The porcelain pieces at the bottom of the bowl are slightly thicker, and the color changes from bright to dark, giving it a unique sense of ethereal.
There is also a trace of light inside the white wall, making the whole bowl look majestic and noble. Just looking at such a beautiful scene, it is hard to believe that this is an ordinary porcelain bowl.
Li Yang smiled, said nothing, and continued to turn the small bowl.
The wall of the bowl rotates, and the plum blossoms also rotate slowly. The dynamic plum blossoms seem to be in full bloom, and the bright red becomes extremely bright under the light, like a red fairy dancing on the snow.
After turning around, Li Yang took out the flashlight with satisfaction.
The small bowl returned to its calm state. It looked very beautiful, but it definitely didn't have the dreamlike feeling it had just now.
"Li, Brother Li, what is going on?"
Xiao Yan's eyes widened. He went up to pick up the small bowl and kept looking through it. It was hard to believe that the small bowl just now showed the beauty of flawless jasper. The texture of white jade brought him
A big shock.
In all his life, he has never seen such beautiful and magical porcelain.
Li Yang flicked the small bowl gently, and a crisp sound rang out. Listening to the sound, Li Yang smiled with satisfaction: "These porcelains are made of carefully refined raw materials and have been carefully studied by countless masters.
, it was finally successfully developed, it is the crystallization of real wisdom, what a pity!”
When Li Yang said this, he sighed again.
These porcelains are the crystallization of modern Chinese culture and are treasures belonging to China. It is a pity that such excellent porcelain firing technology has disappeared due to some special reasons. It cannot but be said to be a pity.
This is even more sad than the loss of some exquisite craftsmanship in ancient times. These porcelains were fired only more than thirty years ago.
"I'll let you feel the magic again!"
Li Yang raised his head and stopped thinking about the problem just now. It was caused by historical reasons. Due to his sensitive status at this time, it was not easy for him to make rash judgments on this historical reason, so he simply did not mention it.
Li Yang stood up and went to the water dispenser, poured hot water into a teacup, and kept holding the teacup with both hands, twisting it gently.
After a while, Xiao Yan and the others' eyes widened again.
This is boiling water that has just been boiled. How can you hold an ordinary water cup like this after pouring boiling water into it? If you don't burn off the skin on your hands, the teacup in Li Yang's hand is very big, but it is very thin. This is something they
But they all know it.
"Isn't this water hot?"
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and finally asked. Li Yang smiled and put the cup on the table, asking him to pick it up carefully and not to lift the cup too high or leave the range of the table.
Holding the tea cup, Xiao Yan could only feel one thing: comfortable and warm, without the feeling of being very hot at all.
"Ah, bah, bah, it burned me to death!"
Lowering his head, Xiao Yan took a sip of the water in the tea cup and then jumped up. Fortunately, Li Yang was prepared and took the cup from his hand in time.
Li Yang took the tea cup, while Xiao Yan kept jumping around and hurriedly picked up a glass, filled it with cold water and drank it.
The water is very hot. Xiao Yan has proved it with facts. Liu Li and Wang Jiajia's eyes once again showed surprise. This thin porcelain wall has such a good temperature insulation effect.
"Brother Li, what's going on?"
Xiao Yan finally came to his senses and asked with a wry smile. His tongue was burned red. Fortunately, it had been cold for a while when he drank the water, otherwise he would definitely have blistered.
Li Yang knocked on the table and said with a smile: "These porcelains are fired at a special high temperature. The temperature must be between 1380 and 1410 degrees. This number sounds simple, but you will not understand the difficulty!
"
Li Yang was right about this. Usually, porcelain is fired at around 1300 degrees. Anything over 1300 degrees is high temperature. There seems to be only an 80 degree difference between 1380 and 1300 degrees, but these 80 degrees are very difficult.
Especially after the temperature reaches 1350 degrees, each degree of increase requires a lot of effort and requires many masters to jointly explore and work together. This is not because the temperature is difficult to increase, but whether the porcelain in the kiln can adapt.
Some porcelain can only withstand these temperatures. If it is shifted by one degree, it will crack and break. In more serious cases, the entire kiln will be scrapped, and all the porcelain will be burned, and the furnace will have to be re-fired.
The most famous porcelain, Chenghua Doucai, is fired at high temperatures. This batch of porcelain is more technically advanced and more difficult than Chenghua Doucai, and the firing conditions are more special. The resulting porcelain is naturally better than the previous ones.
Those porcelains are more beautiful and better.
Temperature resistance is only one of its characteristics. Even if these porcelains have been boiled in boiling water and then thrown directly into ice water, there will be no problem, and their glaze will never fade. Taken together, these porcelains are definitely
The best among the best, it can be called a great work of art.
Li Yang slowly explained the characteristics of porcelain. Li Yang explained very little, and it was just a one-sided explanation, but it still made several people open their mouths.
Xiao Yan suddenly patted his head and said: "I remembered it. Lao Niu seemed to have boasted about this. He said that his tea set was very good and not hot. We didn't care about it at the time. We didn't expect that there was such a factor.
in!"
The old man in the teahouse has long discovered the temperature resistance, but unfortunately he doesn't understand the meaning and keeps the treasure without knowing it. Instead, he treats the treasure as an ordinary thing.
"Brother Li, after talking for a long time, what kind of porcelain is this?"
Liu Li couldn't help but ask. Xiao Yan and Wang Jiajia both looked at Li Yang, as did Liu Gang and Zhao Kui in the room.
Li Yang stroked the porcelain wall of the tea cup and whispered: "These porcelains were fired in 1975, also called 7501 porcelain. These porcelains were only fired for one person at that time!"
"Only for one person, who?"
Liu Li screamed, and Wang Jiajia covered her mouth. She was from a political family after all, and she felt something was wrong when she heard about 1975. After hearing what Li Yang said next, she had already guessed the result in her heart.
"Chairman!" Li Yang smiled slightly and said softly.
"Chairman, what Chairman?"
Liu Li raised her head blankly, and Xiao Yan was also confused. But soon, Xiao Yan opened his eyes wide and pointed at the porcelain, but he didn't ask anything.
After a while, Liu Li also reacted, with the same expression as Xiao Yan.
During that period, there was only one person with the title Chairman, who was a god in the eyes of the people of the country and an unparalleled great man. At that time, it seemed that only this person was qualified to use such a thing.
Xiao Yan and Liu Li both felt a sudden realization in their hearts.
It turned out to be the royal possession of the Chairman. No wonder it was so exquisite. The entire country was mobilized to make porcelain just for one person. This kind of thing could only happen in that era.
After a while, Li Yang said slowly: "A total of 10,000 pieces of this batch of porcelain were fired, and 2,000 pieces were sent to Beijing. The rest were originally going to be destroyed, but at that time someone thought, just in case, destroy them."
If there are any deficiencies on the chairman’s side that need to be made, they can’t be made up for here!”
Li Yang picked up a plate, looked at it, and continued: "So they only destroyed part of it, leaving about four thousand pieces. As times changed, this batch of porcelain was sealed. Later, the factory closed down, and the result was that
It was distributed as an ordinary welfare product. People at that time did not understand the value of these porcelains, and many of them were accidentally damaged or lost overseas. Now there are not many of them circulating in the country!"
What Li Yang said are all facts. This batch of porcelain, also called Mao porcelain, is now very rare in existence, and collectors rarely expose such porcelain.
After all, this is a representative of the top technology of an era. The level of these porcelains is rarely comparable in history. They are modern high-quality official kilns.
